Here are images from a shoot I did about a week ago with my gorgeous friends, Julie Schaeffer and Sophie Reppert. Many thanks to Deanna Dearo for doing makeup for us! Feel free to leave comments below....Enjoy!
I just stumbled across this top image of model Lara Stone photographed by David Sims for the November 2011 issue of Vogue and styled by Camilla Nickerson. I styled almost the same outfit for my shoot earlier this summer with one of my insanely talented friends, Sophie Reppert. We photographed clothing from the local vintage store, Petrune, instead of designer pieces but the effect is just the same. Black and pink are timeless and classic colors that pair wonderfully together!
I'm not quite sure how Rihanna ripped off the opening voice-over of the Doc Martens "First and Forever" campaign in her new music video "We Found Love" without thinking anyone would notice.
This is disappointing on so many levels. First, Rihanna has such a huge creative team behind her and it is sad to think that such a powerful team had to rip off the Doc Martens campaign both visually and conceptually. Second, it doesn't come across as a tribute to the original campaign video and the brilliance of the creative marketing team behind the shoe brand, but rather as an attempt to steal and appropriate it for her own gain. How many people watching her video are going to realize that the whole thing has been done before? This type of creative plagiarism makes me disappointed and extremely upset with the industry and with artists who think they can get away with things like this. I would have so much more respect for Rihanna if she were doing anything original, even if it sucked.
